Runes can be used for calculation?
Napoli's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. "Lord Eya once made a similar conjecture, believing that the divine runes may be a kind of computing terminal that can combine with my knowledge to calculate and create abilities."
But … "
"If runes are really doing calculations, shouldn't they consume energy?"
For example, when using one's brain, one's brain power would be consumed as well.
Runes should consume some energy when doing calculations on their own, right?
"But I don't feel any energy consumption at all." Napoli said, "Whether it's my brain power, my energy, or other things … none of them have been consumed."
If runes were really computing terminals, then the consumption of runes had nothing to do with Napoly.
"Maybe it's not something inside your body that's being consumed. Instead, it's the energy from the higher dimension that you're absorbing."
"Or maybe your body is already consuming energy, but you don't feel it. Maybe it's something else that's taking care of it."
Napoly didn't try to refute Angor's theory. It was pointless to refute Angor's guesses.
He sighed and said softly, "If only I knew which clan I came from, maybe I would be able to find out the secret of the Divine Inscriptions."
Unfortunately, no one knew where he came from.
Even when he went to Astrologer Granny for divination, he could not get any indication.
He was like an orphan among the stars.
"I don't know why I fell into the Empty Mirror Sea …" Napoli sighed with emotion and said softly.
"The Empty Mirror Sea is too powerful. It erased all my memories, and I can never get them back."
If only the Divine Runes could preserve memories …
As soon as he finished his words, Napoli's footsteps suddenly paused.
Since Napoly was leading the way, both Angor and Laplace saw him as soon as he stopped.
Angor glanced at Napoly in confusion and was about to ask him something when someone grabbed him.
However, he felt a grip on his arm. He turned around and saw that it was Laplace who had suddenly grabbed him.
"What's wrong?"
Laplace didn't say anything. Instead, he gave Angor a meaningful look.
Angor followed Laplace's gaze and looked at Napoly's arm. The tattoo on Napoly's arm was glowing faintly.
The style of the tattoo was originally a hammer against a background of flames.
At this moment, as the tattoo glowed, the hammer began to move. It hammered in the air, and the background of flames behind it also emitted an orange glow.
Every time the hammer struck the tattoo, the orange glow grew brighter.
It was as if the tattoo had come alive.
However, this kind of "vivid" tattoo only lasted for a moment. He blinked, and the tattoo went back to normal. It did not glow, nor did it show any sign of abnormality.
Angor rubbed his eyes and looked at the tattoo again. Nothing happened.
"Did the tattoo move?" Angor looked at Laplace.
Laplace nodded. "Yes. But only for a second."
Luckily, Laplace saw it too. Otherwise, Angor would really think that the strange phenomenon was just an illusion.
"What did it move?"
While they were talking, Napoli, who suddenly paused, turned his head in confusion.
Angor pointed at the tattoo on Napori's arm and told him what happened just now.
"I paused for a second, and the runes started moving?" Napoli's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity. "It turns out that when I go to that Divine Glyph Kingdom, the Divine Glyph outside will move."
"Rune Kingdom?" Angor was surprised. "Like the Alchemy Competition?"
Napoli nodded. "Yes. Just now, I suddenly felt my body become heavy. The next second, I entered a divine realm made of divine runes."
Napoly tried to recall what happened. "I felt like I stayed in there for a long time …"
"It wasn't until I obtained a new ability that I left the Divine Kingdom."
"???"
A new ability?
That was it? That was it?
Time only passed for two or three seconds in the outside world. When the hammer on the tattoo moved, the ability appeared? There was no energy fluctuation. If they didn't notice the change in the tattoo, they would have thought that Napoly just stood there for two seconds.
Angor and Laplace looked at each other in disbelief. Such a strange ability was beyond their comprehension.
Angor swallowed his saliva to soothe his dry throat. "How did I suddenly get a new ability?"
Napoli glanced at the tattoo on his arm. With a dim flicker of light, a blue flame drilled out of the tattoo and stopped at Napoli's fingertip.
"That's it. According to the Rune Kingdom, it's called 'Flame Image'."
"It's not an offensive ability. It's a support ability. It's similar to a Photostone. It can record my daily life from a third person's perspective. "
As soon as Napoly finished, the blue flame on his fingertip suddenly rose one meter higher, and an image appeared in the center of the flame.
It was Napoly, Angor, and Laplace.
Napoly had just come back from the Rune Kingdom when he heard Laplace saying, "It moved, but only for a second."
The next second, Napoli asked curiously, "What's moving?"
Then, he saw the conversation between them.
The Flame Image faithfully recorded everything that happened around Napoly from a third person's perspective.
"Did the Flame Image start recording as soon as you came back to your senses?" Angor looked confused. "I don't think I sensed any energy fluctuation."
Angor glanced at Laplace, who also shook his head.
Her spirit sense didn't react at all, and she didn't feel that she was being recorded.
Napoli said, "Fire Image is a passive ability. When it was born, it was automatically activated in the Divine Pattern. Maybe it's because it's inside the Rune Kingdom, so you didn't sense any energy fluctuation? "
Napoly extinguished the blue flame on his fingertip and reactivated it.
"Can you sense any energy fluctuation now?"
Angor nodded. "Yes, but it's very faint. Easy to miss."
"Because it's just an ability that records my life. It doesn't cost much, and it's not aggressive," said Napoly.
What Napoly meant was that the Flame Image only worked on him, not anyone else. Since it was activated inside the Rune Kingdom, it was difficult for anyone to sense the energy fluctuation.
However, anyone who got close to Napoly would be recorded by the Flame Image.
Even so, it was difficult for anyone to notice their presence in the image.
It was as if Napoly had turned into a mobile, soundless "surveillance machine".
This kind of "recording" was terrifying.
And it wasn't recorded in the first person. It was recorded in the third person. When they returned, they could analyze the details of their surroundings.
"Does it consume energy to maintain the Flame Image?" asked Laplace.
Napoly nodded. "Yes. But it doesn't cost much. It's much less than my recovery."
In other words, Napoly could keep the Flame Image for the rest of his life as long as he wanted to.
Such a "recording" ability that didn't attract any attention was very powerful.
Most importantly, the ability of Flame Reflection was comprehended by Napoli right in front of them.
It only took a few seconds.
Regardless of what Laplace was thinking, Angor, who was always called a "genius" in the southern wizarding region, felt a little jealous.
Wizards had similar abilities as well, but it would take a long time to learn them.
Besides, any carelessness during the learning process could result in the spell backfiring.
Angor couldn't imagine learning a new ability in just two seconds.
Rune system …
Which world did this kind of supermodel energy system come from? Was it too late for him to go against humanity?
While Angor was admiring Napoly, Laplace asked, "Why did the Rune suddenly give you an ability? Did you do anything?"
Napoly tried to recall. "I don't think I did anything. But I felt powerless when I tried to recall the memories taken away by the Sea of Mirrors.
"How nice would it be if Divine Imprints could also preserve their memories?"
Because the Divine Glyph was not washed away by the Sea of Mirrors, the power inside was also intact. Therefore, in Napoli's opinion, if the Divine Glyph could preserve memories, even if he fell into the Sea of Mirrors again, he could still find his past memories through the Divine Glyph.
"Then, in the next second, I entered the Divine Kingdom formed by the power of divine runes and learned the ability of Flame Reflection."
Naprey scratched his head. "Maybe it was because I wanted this ability, so the rune gave me this ability?"
Laplace didn't give an answer.
But from Napoly's explanation, Angor was sure that Napoly's "Flame Image" had something to do with his inner desires.
What you wanted was what you got.
Was the Rune really that generous?
Laplace said, "Do you want to try and obtain some other abilities and see if the runes can give you some feedback?"
Napoli: "You mean …"
Laplace said, "Whatever ability you desire. See if there's any reaction from the runes."
Napoly understood what Laplace meant. If he could get whatever he wanted, wouldn't he become a hexagonal warrior?
Thinking of this, Napoly began to pray that he was invincible.
There was no response.
Maybe invincibility was too much? Should he get a powerful attack method that matched his current level?
After a while, there was still no response.
Should he change it to an ordinary attack method? An auxiliary method? Or any kind of ability?
But no matter how Napoly prayed, he didn't get any feedback. It was as if the Rune was asleep …
"No response …" Napoly scratched his head. "Maybe, once the Rune is activated, it will take a long time to activate it again? Is it in a cooldown period now? "
Laplace nodded. Napoly's guess was reasonable. If he could really obtain unlimited abilities, the Rune system would be invincible.
It should have a cooldown period and an upper limit to the ability he could ask for.
If he wanted to test it, he would probably have to do a very detailed experiment report … But this was obviously unrealistic. Even if he wanted to experiment, Napoly wouldn't be willing to be a research subject.
Besides, a single experimental subject couldn't get the most rigorous report.
So, he went back to the original situation.
If he wanted to know the limit of Napoly's Rune system and the reason behind it, he would have to find Napoly's clan.
Unfortunately, this was not an option at the moment.
Before this, Laplace didn't care much about Napoly's background. But after that, she also developed a strong curiosity about Napoli.
Perhaps, when his main body cruised in the Empty Mirror Ocean in the future, he could pay attention to the images in the Empty Mirror Ocean and see if there was a human world with tattoos …
…
He didn't encounter any "surprises" or "epiphanies" for the rest of his journey.
Along the way, Napoly kept testing the fire image, such as the range of the image, whether he could change the center of the image, and whether he could adjust the volume of the voice in the image.
He volunteered to be Napoly's test subject.
He was also curious about what kind of effect the fire image could have.
In the end, he found that the center of the image could not be changed. It had to be Napoly.
The range of the Fire Image could not be enlarged, but it could be melted into Napoli's eyes so that Napoli's eyes could be used as a 'camera'. The Fire Image would record as far as Napoli could see.
However, once the image entered Napoly's eyes, the passive ability would become active, and it would consume a lot of energy.
Napoly could only maintain the image for ten minutes at most before he ran out of energy.
Also, the Flame Image could not go through walls, nor could it see what was hidden in someone's clothes, unless the Flame Image was merged into Napoli's eyes, and Napoli could then use a see-through spell to go through walls or clothes.
Generally speaking, the fire image was very effective. But it was still mainly used to record Napoly's daily life.
Even if someone accidentally entered the range of the image, they wouldn't have to worry about their trump cards being exposed.
At most, they would become "passersby".
Of course, if you insisted on doing something that exposed your trump card within the range of the flame image, then you deserved it.
Angor sighed in relief when he was done with the test.
After all, Napoly would still be around them. Now that he and Laplace didn't have to worry about the "exposure" of the image, they wouldn't have to worry too much.
